Hi Deena I lived in the area, 2305 Wilson Ave, from 1924 (year of my birth) until 1938. When David mentioned a park on Wilson Ave some distance 'west' of where we lived I remembered a park. It was a lovely park where we had many picnics. Because the park was quite a distance from our home we only visited the park a few times during the summer. It was memorable for me. Of course distance is all relative. We took public transportation. . I don't remember the name of the park but it could well be Albany Park because that would be the area we were talking about. I haven't been there for so many years - maybe someone on the list can answer. I would like to know as well. As I remember, Albany Park is an 'area' of the city, however, if there is an Albany Park, it could be some place else? I don't know about that but it seems possible. I thought that the Albany Park Area of the northside of the city was northeast of the Wilson Ave area where we lived. I could be wrong. dorothy

Albany Park (the neighborhood) is centered around the Lawrence/Kedzie intersection, just west of the Lincoln Square neighborhood where Dorothy lived. I don't recall an Albany Park (green space). The park I mentioned was Welles Park bounded by Western, Sunnyside, Lincoln and Montrose.
